Rereading the last post I made I realise two things:
1) There is a problem in translation. The maths only work outside the USA, but in the USA you have your own definition of a billion (real billion = 1,000,000,000,000 American billion = 1,000,000,000). So assuming that the prize is 1.3 US billion, that is only 4.33 thousand dollars per person.
2) Only $4,330????? How the hell does the prize get to $4,330 per American? Even if the main prize is 100% of all the money spent on tickets, with no money used to run the lottery, no smaller prizes given, and no profit made from the lottery - that still means that, on average, every single American has spent over four thousand dollars on lottery tickets since the last win!
